Nokia Lumia 920 Limited Supply - Resolved By January? [View article]
Top selling this week; Lumia 920 at positions 3 & 4:
Top pre-orders at 1 & 4 are red & yellow:
Available on phones4u:
Looks like positions 3 & 5 of their top sellers.
Seems to suggest otherwise. Care to comment? Common components to all colours would mean that all colours would be out of stock. My take is that they miscalculated on the desire for colour, which is why black & white tend to be in stock but yellow & red tend not to be.
Then on Amazon UK the Lumia 800 is the most gifted piece of electronics:
it's also the best seller:
ok that confuses me who gives a mobile phone as a gift?
Simple fact is the demand is there. They're selling everything they can make. -
The Telegraph reports German and French officials working on a multitrillion-dollar "firebreak." Among the steps is a bank recapitalization going well beyond the laughable €2.5B tagged by the EU stress tests (the IMF puts the figure at €200B, others say €1T). A bump in EFSF firepower to €2T and a "controlled" Greek default giving a 50% haircut to lenders are also in the mix. [View news story]
You are a banker aren't you.
The banks should be wiped out and replaced by competent organisations. Instead they are being rewarded.
It's only when we have some competent as opposed to incompetent financial organisations that future growth will be possible. The history of the current muppets is that of decades of malinvestment... Why would that change in the future? It is this continuing malinvestment by the banks which is pushing the economy into a double dip recession. They have trillions in reserves... What do they do with them? Fund the government. -
One Chart That Explains the Entire Financial Crisis [View article]
The monetary system now requires infinite exponential growth to function.
i.e. a bubble economy.
Whether it is tech sector, financial sector, housing, oil, gold it doesn't really matter, anything which allows the level of lending to increase exponentially.
The problem with infinite exponential growth is that you eventually hit a limit. i.e. people able to pay back the loans. It then collapses.
It is called a Ponzi scheme. -
Nokia's Fighting Hard To Get Back Into Positive EPS [View article]
I can see the point of the ultra low cost 105, as the base phone, and one low cost Asha qwerty keyboard phone but I don't see the point of for example the non Asha, 20[678] or 301. These should be dropped in favour of one redesigned low end touch screen Asha; a 3G big brother of the Asha 501 with the new OS.
2G Candy bar ~$20 price range (e.g. Nokia 105)
2.5G Asha qwerty (e.g. Asha 210)
2.5G Asha touch - (e.g. Asha 501)
3G Asha touch - max price $150
Then you're covered, $20 -> $900, you've made the transition to smartphones all the way down to ~$50 and you have a consistent design language, colour usage and reasonably consistent platform experience. You can focus on a higher quality user experience instead of 100 different models. -

Nokia: Positive News Followed By What? [View article]
Well, they can produce phones which are sexy, while Apple produce phones which cater to urban dweller's status angst.
Let me give you an example using Nokia and Apple's introduction videos from YouTube. You only have to watch a couple of minutes of the videos to see the contrast.
Exhibit 1: The Nokia video introducing the Lumia 920...
What are Nokia selling? Sex. That's a phone which'll get you laid. Plain and simple. (Note: 2 million views)
Exhibit 2: The Apple video introducing the iPhone 5.
So. What are Apple selling? condescension and pomposity. Ain't going to get you laid. (Note: only 1.2 million views and the control of the comments "Comments are disabled for this video.")
On top of that the 920 is simply the better looking, easier to use, more fun, more advanced phone. Boils down to a better product, better able to meet people's needs.
Does that answer your question?

Beware Of Research In Motion And Nokia Near Year-End [View article]
FYI, the Jolla bunch of ex Nokia engineers have demo'd their new OS and Sailfish user interface a couple of days ago, it's quite impressive from a startup. It's pretty clear to me that both Windows Phone 8 and Jolla UIs are superior on touch screens than Apple and Android, already both look dated.
The problem Apple, Google have now is the large investment in the existing user interfaces is about to become "legacy" and it's going to be apparent to anyone brought into contact with WP 8, Sailfish or even RIM's new BB10. So, do they abandon it or do they attempt as Microsoft have done on the desktop to improve it incrementally over years... If they do this they will simply be carrying the dead weight of past development. WP7 & WP 8 for example almost entirely abandon previous Microsoft user interface designs.
Simply put, the icon is dead. Long live live tiles. -
Nokia Lumia 920: Great Phone, Wrong Marketing [View article]
Now, if you think about how many different word processors you use. Hundreds surely ... or ... just one? Same for web browsers, or any particular app you care to mention. You really only want the best app in any category, maybe a couple for competition. Then maybe a few thousand highly niche interest apps ... all the rest then would be worthless.
Lets imagine there are a couple of hundred different categories of apps with say 3 major competitors per category ... plus niche apps thats still only about 4000 worthwhile apps in *total*, from half a million.
i.e. 99% of apps in the app store are almost certainly ... garbage. What I call fart apps. We're being overrun by garbage farts. -

Did China Just End the Dollar's Reign? [View article]
Not "a". "The".
With the Dollar as the reserve currency, America gets to export it's inflation to the rest of the planet.
The military budget? Bigger than all the other countries combined? Deficit spending financed by dollar reserve status pays for it.
The low taxes? Deficit spending financed by the dollar reserve status pays for it.
The low interest rates? Dollar reserve status pays for it. This finances American business to a competitive advantage over the rest of the world.
And those are just some of the benefits which American business and citizens enjoy at the expense of those who have to buy US dollars before they can buy what they really wanted to in the first place.
Should dollar reserve status be lost. Not only will interest rates rise, taxes will also rise and trillions of dollars which are currently out of the country will come home to roost.
The key is oil. When the Saudis switch, the US is in big trouble. -

Not for me!!!
By Benz11
from Fonthill, Ont
I ordered several things during Joan's visit and am pleased with them all, except this top. It is heavy, stiff and somewhat clunky. The foil type metallic accents seem very pedestrian and inexpensive. I just did not like it. However, I do love most of her presentation and she is a fascinating woman. I am looking forward to her next time on TSC. CHEERS!!!

Lovely to look at
By DM
from Ontario
If I were rating this top on appearance only, I would give it 6 stars if I could. I got the grey, and while it is darker than it appears online, and while the sparkles are not fine grain but thicker lumps of shine, it still is lovely. The fit is great, and the style is very flattering. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because the sweater itches. The tag says it is made of acrylic, but it feels like low quality wool. This isn't a problem in the body of the sweater since it is loose fitting and hangs away from the torso, but the sleeves are close fitting and it is not the most comfortable fabric out there. I am undecided whether or not to keep it because I don't like how it feels, but my husband loves how it looks on me, and wants me to keep it. I will wait a few days to decide. I think I can find something less scratchy but with a similar sparkle in the shops, probably for less, too.* I would recommend to a friend, but with a disclaimer. The cut is very flattering, and the fabric may not bother those with less sensitive skin.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The usg will spend about 50 million dollars funding an office of
compliance. The people who want to sell to iran will spend a billion. The
issue is never the law. Its enforcement. The government is always
outgunned exactly as with drugs.
The brazilians may very well refuse to comply for domestic political
reasons. But whatever they do publicly the reality is that brazilians will
sell to iran through holding companies and the brazilians won't lift a
finger to stop them, even as they deny that any such dealing is going on.
It will be up to the usg and its pitiful budget to prove otherwise and
have state upset that the brazilians are intruding on their sovereognty.
The meausre of sanctions is not in the law but in the enforcement. Only a
blockade can hurt iran. So long as all vessels heading to iran are not
stopped the sanctions will fail. Of course this was not even suggested as
russia and china would have walked. Why? They were both part of running
the iraqi blockade. Made a fortune. Russian oc particularly.
The funny part is when it turned out that many of the un enforces of the
sanctions on iraq were also selling to iraq. Kofi annan's son made
millions in moving oil out of iraq. And this with the usn blockading.
Reva, this isn't about governments and lawyers. This is about gray and
blackmarket criminals and corporations using them for a piece of the
action. Look at bermuda and isle of man corporations and start tracing the
lines. The very people public advocating sanctions will turn around a
selll their knowledge to the blockade runners. A lot of israelis made a
bundle on iraq and sudan, some of the same ones who lobbied hadest for
Its a sad business. I'd love iran to crumble. But this isn't doing
something. This just creates an arena for criminals and hustlers and gives
obama the illusion of having done something.
As for brazil. The choice is between publically rejecting the sanctions or
paying lip service while being a main supplier. Its really the same thing.
If we saw a billion dollae enforcement bucket it still wouldn't be enough,
but it wouid show some good intentions.

I've spoken to businessmen in brazil recently. They are salivating in
the hopes the europeans leave the market to them.
Remember, governments rarely decide what happnes in this. No country has
really effective monitoring. As with the drug trade most of the
transactions will be handled by organized crime or brokers. They will
buy goods where they want and tranship. They will aboud american goods
because they could be caught. They will focus on businesses in second
tier countries. Government officials won't know or be bribed. The
official government position is meaningless because the decisions are
made on the busines, oc, broker level. The governments who care will
deny it.
There is a reason that sanctions don't work. Its the same reason that
smuggling is never stopped. Where there is money to be made and the
enforcement officials are bribable or incompetent, which is most
countries, the money flows throug.
It would be very useful to study why previous sanctions didn't work.
There is a pattern to the failure that has nothing to do with government
policy and everything to do with how business works. Blockades work.
Legal sanctions cantt. South africa is cited as the example but they
were getting everything they needed. It was internal politics.

if that were the case, Brazil would have said yes the first 5,000
times Iran has tried to get them to agree to open another IDBI banking
facility in Brasilia to launder money like the one they have set up in
Caracas. The business lobby is an important voice in Brazil, and this
is an election year. While taking a position opposing the US is a
popular move, the chuminess with Iran is really not playing that well
at home. The tech and investment they need for pre-salt is also
highly specialized. They're not going to be as flagrant as Venezuela
in helping out Iran. That's why most of these deals have been mostly
hot air between Iran and Brazil. What i'm really interested in is
whether Brazil is able to move forward with the ethanol sales, which
could really help Iran out, help Brazilian industry and easily slip
through sanctions

The brazilians voted no on sanctions. That had huge domestic
support. If lula backs off he gains nothing and loses face.
The key weakness of sanctions is that the countries that are most
necessary to it are least motivated.
The brazilians will play a double game. They will be formally
ambiguous on sanctions but they will do nothing to blockj brazilian
companies from selling. They don't even have monitoring mechanisms
if they wanted to.

they've been very careful not to openly flout the embargo. They're
trying to keep open a loophole in the sanctions to sell ethanol to
Iran, they have a huge trade dispute running with the US in which
they are trying to maintain the upper hand, and most importantly,
they need to make sure they get the foreign investment and tech to
pre-salt fields. That's the main priority for Brasilia. And it's not
necessarily good domestic politics. The ruling party is also facing
flack for dealing too closely with Iran and Lula is being more
conscious of that now

His response is as follows:
Yes. Iran*s IRGC stopped using Dubai for sensitive purchases
long ago (More than four years). Other non-sensitive products
were going through Dubai but it started decreasing as
Ahmadinejad was elected. Variety of middlemen in Dubai were
associated with Rafsanjani*s/Khatami*s team and Ahmadinejad and
IRGC did not trust them and stopped doing business with them.
This what I heard. I do not have any documented evidence to back
up my claim.
Iran has a large cargo shipping company (115 ocean going
vessels) . One of the subsidiary of Iran shipping lines is
Iran-India shipping companies. See a one page website
at http://www.iranohind.com/ .
Iran has a separate shipping company, National Iranian Tanker
Company dedicated to the oil industry. This company is different
than Iran shipping lines.
Right now Brazil is used for mostly Agricultural commodity, Meat
and some oil industry related equipment. This will open up a
financial pipeline for processing/clearing payments. Once this
financial pipeline is established, then other products (mostly
US manufactured oil related requirement) and services will be
rerouted through Brazil. For example: a Brazilians firm orders
parts from the US companies regarding some oil industry
equipment destined for Venezuela. The equipment will be
assembled and sold as a finish product to a Venezuelan oil
Industry Entity. Then, the Venezuelan entity will resell or
lease the equipment to Iran.

This was expected by the Iranian business community.
Already, most of them have opened up branches and front
companies in Turkey, India, China, Malaysia, Venezuela,
Indonesia, Brazil and Singapore. Also, Abu Dhabi is using
the sanctions to put pressure on Dubai to cut its ties with
Iran. These two emirates compete ferociously and Abu Dhabi
is devastating Dubai trade with Iran by imposing various
financial terms and conditions attached to its loans which
are sought by Dubai to solve its financial problems. One of
these conditions was a tighter custom control by Abu Dhabi
throughout the Dubai*s various port facilities. Iran*s
Revolutionary Guards has stopped using Dubai about 4 years
ago. Only private businesses are using Dubai as a re-export
destination. On the other hand India, Turkey and China have
stepped up their Direct shipments to Iran and everything is

will be a major player too. Venezuela, Singapore and
Malaysia are mostly used for bank clearing purposes.
Indonesia is use both for banking and trade but at a lower

"I figure it's about the same as the chances of Nicole Kidman walking into the Port Authority and handing me an Oscar," says Mr. Wallace, who works for the Bergen County (New Jersey) government. "But why not? It's just a dollar and a dream."
But this week, for every American who sees buying a ticket as a waste of good money, there's another who is eager to be parted from his or her earnings. The pace at which Mega Millions tickets have been selling is phenomenal. Since Tuesday, Mr. Hoover estimates, people have spent about $600 million on tickets – and perhaps as much as $1.2 billion since the last winner on Jan. 24. In Massachusetts, tickets were selling at the rate of 14,000 per minute on Friday, says Beth Bresnahan, a spokeswoman for the Massachusetts Lottery.
"This is unprecedented," says Ms. Bresnahan. "The scale of this thing is driving the increase. People are coming out of the woodwork."
Hitting the jackpot is not necessarily the salvation from financial problems, at least for those who've won more modest amounts. In a 2009 study of people who had won between $50,000 and $150,000 in the Florida Lottery, three economists found that if a winner had been in dire financial straits beforehand, the lottery money only postponed bankruptcy.
"What our study suggests is that bankruptcy is about something other than money," says Mark Hoekstra, a professor at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. "Whatever got you into trouble did not change after you won the lottery – it was not just bad luck."

Bought this on a whim in the airport--didn't even try it, just looked at it in the tube. Turns out to be an amazing MLBB nude for me (Mac NW20).
The formula is really nice and comfortable and has no scent (which is really important to me). It has a bit of sheen but is not glossy. Very soft and natural.
The tube is a nice metal in a cool purple with a nice shape. Elegant and not heavy.
Absolutely perfect MLBB for NW20, dark hair, dark eyes, pigmented lips. Feels like silk; beautiful shine; lasts much longer than MAC Lustre. (YAY!)

This doesnt feel like a lipstick at all. It applies smoothly, feels light, yet stays on. Color is also versatile good for day or night wear.
This lipstick is wonderful for it matches MY lipcolor by enhancing the color. I love how it is very moisturizing, glides on very easily, and is rich in color. You definitely get what you pay for with this lipstick, and I agree that a little application of this lipstick does go a long way. The color can be worn down for every day, or worn up for a night out. It's a very versatile color which is always a plus for a lipstick. The packaging is beautiful, but I always found Shiseido lipstick packaging to be quite elegant compared to other department brands. If you are tired of trying lipsticks that dry up your lips or are too sheer, definitely give this a try when you walk by the Shiseido counter. The staying power is decent, but I don't expect much from any lipstick when it comes to staying power anyway.

I actually love this pink/brown color...it can be worn all 4 seasons. Almost perfectly matches my natural lip color (only has brown in the color which doesn't make the match exact). I would definitely repurchase this...but I don't think I'll have to for years as a little goes a long way!
Perfect Rouge lipsticks are matte, pure-color lipsticks. They come in new black tubes with the cap shaped in signature Shiseido logo.
#303 (Pink Mesa) is a brownish pink that is not dull at all. Somehow the pink manages to be alive, while the brown tames it ever so gently. The texture is soft and creamy. It hydrated my lips after some minutes of wearing. Shade 303 did not make me feel overly made up, rather it put together the makeup look into a clean, consistent finish.
So far, Maquillage and Shisedo lipsticks are the best I've tried. They manage to be comfortable on the lips and their hues suit the skin so well.

Imagine a signal slowly passing through zero, e.g. a low frequency
sine wave. If you switch gain at an arbitatry point there will be
a 'step', having a 1/F spectrum (just like a square wave). If you
switch at a zero crossing there will be 'sharp corner', and this
has a 1/(F^2) spectrum (like a triangular wave). So instead of a
sharp click there will be something more like a 'thump'. The only
real solution is to never switch the gain, but change it smoothly.

Preaching the Mystery of Faith: : The Sunday Homily (Bishops Statement)
Price: $6.95
Preaching is evangelizing, making the Word come alive for the People of God. This task is central to the New Evangelization and the Church's renewal.
The bishops' statement Preaching the Mystery of Faith: The Sunday Homily, is directed toward priests, deacons, and seminary educators who prepare them to preach the Sunday homily in these times of confusion and relativism. The statement gives special attention to the biblical and theological foundations for effective liturgical preaching and considers the proper connection between the Sunday homily and the Church's liturgy and catechesis. Preaching the Mystery of Faith emphasizes the particular pastoral needs of our time that have prompted the call for a renewed evangelization. The Word of God is "a wellspring of constant renewal" in the Church and a power that "will be ever more fully at the heart of every ecclesial activity." (Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation Verbum Domini, No. 7-136; Spanish No. 7-826) |

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by The stacks Wonderful stay!
This was our second time staying at Intercontinental Hotel in Boston, and both times we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The rooms are beautiful and clean as well as spacious. Our favorite feature is the marble bathroom and we love having an option of a tub or standup shower in the same bathroom. The staff is always so welcoming and hospitable. We couldn't imagine staying anywhere else in the city now that we have discovered the best!

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Napa67 A very special 50th birthday
Once again the IC Boston has reaffirmed why I continue to stay at this property. From the moment I called to book my room I was delighted by the way Sam worked with me to handle my special requests and made me feel confident that my stay would be perfect. The exact room I was looking to stay in was reserved for me and Sam added a few extra special touches like including a card from the hotel on the dresser wishing a Happy 50th birthday to my wife. The staff at the desk always welcomes us back and they make us feel like we are part of the family which just started the day off on the right note for us both. Thank you to everyone at IC Boston for making our stay comfortable and always memorable.

Hotel is well situated to get around the city by walking or by cab. Close to a lot of key locations and a 15 min ride from the airport.
Rooms are top notch and the staff takes great care of you. Large bathrooms and a very quiet ventilation system.
This is my go to place in Boston and I would recommend it.

broken reed
A weak or unreliable support, as in I'd counted on her to help, but she turned out to be a broken reed. The idea behind this idiom, first recorded about 1593, was already present in a mid-15th-century translation of a Latin tract, "Trust not nor lean not upon a windy reed."

The St. Charles (Illinois) Review, Sept. 12, 1879 Local Matters Mrs. Wm. Riggs was riding up from Geneva, after dark, last Friday evening when her horse, in turning out to let a team pass, ran one wheel of the buggy off the embankment at the east side of the road and she was thrown out heavily, sustaining severe injuries, having an arm broken, and being otherwise bruised up. It was some time before help came, but when it did make its appearance she was promptly cared for, and, at the present writing, she is doing well. +++Posted as a courtesy, not related.

Government mandated pensions were not originally intended to finance an end-of-life vacation.

Government mandated pensions were not originally intended to finance an end-of-life vacation.
I don't think they should keep working, rather they should train new workers for a while.
Also love that retirement is a "party". It's easier to talk about cuts when you're dishonest about what retirement is.
@Walter S
We're waking up to the realization that a big bulge generation, with wholly-inadequate average private savings, entering retirement while the government is already massively indebted could possibly sink our entire economy (and in turn the country). Such a scenario would not be good for the retirees either, and once enough of them have been out of the workforce awhile it would be harder to retrace the collective mistake. Better that they not jump with both feet from productive activities until declining health insists upon an exit.
Again, we're only talking about averages here. And not to say that means-testing of entitlements is a bad idea (it's not, but at the same time it's not alone enough to avoid catastrophe either).
Finally, though, I think the point of the article is not that people should not retire, but that assumptions of retirement age ought to be linked to life expectancy rather than a number whose relevance keeps changing. The same logic says that if average life expectancy were to decline (perhaps due to pollution or bad food supply or widespread exposure to American Idol) then the appopriate retirement age might sensibly decrease.
I love these. Every now and then we break up the discussion for one of A.S.'s diatribes about how people need to work later in life.
I still don't understand the reasoning. You met a wealthy retiree who was visiting Europe; what does that have to do with retirees of more modest means, who also happen to be those most likely to have more demanding physical jobs?
Why are you so obsessed with this? Social Security has minor shortfalls that can be remedied with minor tax increases or with a lifting of the cap on Social Security taxable income.
These posts are just so ideological - you start with the premise that retirement is "old-fashioned" or "unrealistic" and then you explain why people should "just work longer." Do you get some kind of kick out of envisioning 70-year-olds still at work, waiting for the day they can cash their Social Security benefits?
I want to see one of these posts where you inform your readers that the average Social Security benefit is $14,000 a year. What was all that about the new leisure class again?
"transfering so many resources from the old to the young is inefficent"
Editor, is this what AS intended to say? I suspect the opposite.
The improvement in quality and length of retirement seems almost entirely to have been financed by loading the next generations with debt. What the special report makes clear is that that party is over - or it will be once the boomers have sucked all of the credit out of their children's generation and we're sent packing to Ryan's privatized medicare scheme with the meager returns on our DC pensions generally eaten up by the cost of buying supplemental insurance.
Cause and effect reversed ? People who are healthier are able both to work and live longer.
What if a person is 62 and gets sacked, and then can't find a job?
Should they wallow for 3-8 years until 65-70, or take Social Security early? Wow, freedom of choice, what a concept.
I recently sat next to a 75-year old on a plane, toting an iPad and on her second trip to Europe this year, and this was not shocking.
No it is not shocking. A 75-year old being a consumer.
Does it matter if they are consuming thier wages (if working) or thier retirement (if retired).
You didn't give us a clue as to thier work status. Nor mention thier savings status. Perhaps that person was doing what Americans do best,

Simple dishes are the best.
That's what "The Italian Vegetable Cookbook" by Michele Scicolone (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, $30) is all about.
She has the perfect voice to teach us about making the most of spring and summer produce, showcasing vegetables as the stars they deserve to be. A Mediterranean food expert and bestselling author, Scicolone brings 200-plus ways to prepare vegetables and fruits in the Italian style, sharing traditional family and regional recipes from her travels.
There are the classics, including her mother's stuffed mushrooms, a foolproof red sauce and no-stir polenta. This book makes me eager for tomato season.
There are also underappreciated ingredients such as radicchio, Swiss chard and kale.
Want fun, too? She shares ideas for creative pastas, pizzas and fruit desserts.
We share two recipes from her book here to try that bridge the seasons from the raw cold of April rains to the warm and sunny days that bring everyone outside.
Her Lentil Salad is a great side dish. Scicolone likes Castellucio lentils from Umbria and the Pantelleria variety from Sicily. She favors their flavor and their thin skins, which make them more tender. But she writes that even ordinary supermarket lentils work for this salad, though you may need to cook them slightly longer.
Her hearty minestrone is one she adapted from a recipe leaflet distributed by a Tuscan winemaker. Don't we all love those kind of recipes? She likes that it features sage and fennel, which add a lot of flavor. Tuscans serve it at room temperature with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, but she prefers it hot with freshly grated cheese. Me, too.
Warm Lentil and Vegetable Salad
1 tender celery rib, finely chopped
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces (about 1 cup) lentils
1 large tomato, seeded and chopped, or 1 cup chopped canned tomatoes
1 garlic clove, minced
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
Freshly ground pepper
In a large saucepan, cook the celery, onion, carrot, and thyme in the olive oil over medium heat until the vegetables are tender and golden, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, wash the lentils under running water. Look them over and discard any shriveled ones or foreign objects.
Stir the tomato and garlic into the vegetables. Add the lentils, 1 teaspoon salt, and 5 cups water and bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 20 minutes.
Stir in the bell pepper. Cook for 20 to 30 minutes more, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated. If the lentils start to dry out, add a little more warm water as needed.
Correct the seasoning, adding pepper to taste and more salt if needed. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Serves 4 to 6.
Chickpea Minestrone with Broken Spaghetti
1 large onion, chopped
1 medium carrot, peeled and chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
1 small fennel bulb, trimmed and chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage or 1 teaspoon crumbled dried
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups cooked chickpeas or drained canned chickpeas
3 cups vegetable or chicken broth
3 cups water
Salt and freshly ground pepper
4 ounces spaghetti, broken or small pasta, such as tubetti or small shells (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano-Reggiano for serving
In a large pot, cook the onion, carrot, celery, fennel, garlic, and sage in the olive oil, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and golden, about 10 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Add the chickpeas, broth, and water, bring to a simmer, and cook for 1 hour, or until the vegetables are very tender.
Mash some of the chickpeas with the back of a spoon to thicken the soup. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
When the soup is almost ready, add the pasta and stir well. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender. If the soup is too thick, stir in a little warm water. Taste for seasoning.
Serve sprinkled with cheese.
Serves 6.

Composed of two sections — a tall water tower and lower "lean-to" area — the home was kept very simple in construction and design. There's nothing elaborate or showy, because this cabin was meant to be a completely functional and practical space. "While this is something my parents enjoy, it really isn't your standard vacation destination," says Butler. "It's a working area. You drive up, and there are John Deere tractors in the field with dust clouds billowing up. You're not going to be sunbathing on the porch."
While some architects might shy away from working with their parents, Butler had designed two previous homes belonging to his mother and father, so they had a system worked out this time around. While they weren't completely sure what they wanted for this cabin, they were clear on two points: it had to be very simple, and it had to have a water tower.
The water tower in particular was the only item of note on his parents' short list of demands. Butler's father went around Winters and took photos of water towers that were all along the outlying areas of the farm for inspiration. Originally, Butler designed a much more contemporary structure. However, his father decided that he really wanted something authentic, so the design was changed.
The water tower in particular was the only item of note on his parents' short list of demands. Butler's father went around Winters and took photos of water towers that were all along the outlying areas of the farm for inspiration. Originally, Butler designed a much more contemporary structure. However, his father decided that he really wanted something authentic, so the design was changed.
The tower houses the structure's bedroom. The room has 14-foot tall ceilings, with warm-toned walls of vertical grain Douglas fir. The battened walls of the tower are reflected in this master bedroom.
A 16-foot-tall spiral staircase leads directly from the bedroom the to the very top of the tower. Since it was originally photographed, Butler's parents have covered these walls with vintage maps of the surrounding area.
An open deck on top of the tower provides incredible views of the surrounding farms — including a one-acre vegetable garden, visible on the left side of this photo. The main crops in Winters are tomatoes, sunflower, corn and wheat. The area has extremely rich soil and a reliable freshwater supply, ideal for long-term farming communities.
Relatively flat land comprises most of the landscape surrounding the water tower, providing a 360-degree view of the horizon. Foothills surround the perimeter of the city, visible in the distance. Farms tend to take up most of the flatland, while cattle ranchers use the hills. Besides the four main crops, Winters also has a wide variety of orchards, many of which are owned by Mariani Fruits and Nuts. Decades prior, this agricultural prosperity was shared via the railroad which ran directly through Winters, carrying its harvest bounty across the country.
The "lean-to" section contains the main living area. This portion of the structure is elevated off the ground. This not only enhances the view, but promotes air circulation during the Sacramento Valley's hot summers. Butler used Douglas fir framing material on the porch and Alaskan yellow cedar for the decking. This section of the cabin's exterior had a sort of chicken-coop ambiance, so Butler went with it and used woven wire for the railings.
The entire cabin is a mix of two very distinct farmhouse styles. "Its design is kind of a mash-up between two local farm forms," says Butler. "On one hand, you have this very classic water tower. On the other, you have this single shed, almost chicken coop-like main building." The building has a very defined industrial feeling, part of which is due to Butler's use of standard farming materials throughout the structure.
The neat loft tucked away in the living area is the perfect hideaway to host guests for a night. Since the cabin itself is only 785 square feet, this was a smart way to create a mini guest area. The cabin's bathroom is underneath the loft, while a dark green enameled wood burning stove is adjacent. This practical and beautiful piece was chosen as a tribute to the farming roots of the Winters community.
While the cabin's architecture is both beautiful and efficient, the most accomplished part of its design can't be seen at first glance. This cabin was designed to move very easily — in that it can literally be picked up and moved by a truck. The structure is based on two large glulam beams, which can be used to move the house to a different area. Butler designed the home in this manner because the cabin is currently located on his parents' smallest plot of land, and they're going to need to relocate to their other plots at some point in the future. One of the great benefits of this design is that the home is extremely sustainable. Its footprint on the surrounding area is very light.
The fields outlying the cabin can be seen clearly in this site plan. Butler's parents grow tomatoes, wheat, and sunflowers on their plots of land, and have also been working on restoring the natural habitat along the waterways near their home. His mother has installed numerous birdhouses and feeders to encourage local birds and wildlife to return to the area. "I was there not that long ago, standing on the deck of the water tower," says Butler, "and it was pretty amazing to see the amount of wildlife out there. There are ducks flying around, and hawks hunting prey in the fields. It's great."
Butler's design doesn't waste any space in this less-than-1000 square foot apartment, which was put together with the help of contractors at Dna Hoover Housewright. Per the request of his parents, this cabin has nothing but the bare essentials—it's all they need in order to keep their land thriving.

Academics | Anthropology
Anthropology Department
Ripon College offers a major and minor in Anthropology.
As a student of Anthropology at Ripon College you will work closely with faculty and fellow students pursuing a variety of research, scholarship and service interests. You will be challenged to seek the essence of what it is to be human by examining our similarities and differences with other primates, our buried archaeological past, our current ways of doing things, and the human predilection to use symbols in talking, writing and the arts.
The department introduces students to the discipline through
ethnographic material, the use of interpretive theory, and individual and collaborative research pursuits. Students are encouraged to construct individual programs in such areas as archaeology; human evolution; and biological, cultural, linguistic, and psychological anthropology.
Classes promote independent thinking and discussion, and students often work alongside faculty members on research projects both here and abroad. Upcoming travel opportunities with faculty members include an In Focus trip to San Pedro de Atacama, Chile, and a semester in Tanzania focused on Ecology and Human Origins.

really great!!!!! this was such a great easy dish. i would also suggest to make extra sauce. i will make this again for sure!
I would rate this recipe a 3.6. It is very good, super simple and light. Do make extra sauce as it is needed for the rice.
For such an easy and quick recipe, this was FABULOUS! Don't even bother marinating the salmon, the sauces are what make it so wonderful. Ok, so I'm naive... I had no idea of the price of wasabi powder ($5.50 for a tiny jar at my market), but it was incredibly good and well worth the price. For 4 people, I would probably have to double both sauces so there'd be plenty to lick. I served this tonight with jasmine rice and sugar snap peas. We're glad it's all gone, or we'd still be eating...
Awsome!!! I combined the two sauces because I did not think my teenagers would go for just the wasabi sauce. Nice and mellow...they loved it!!
Awesome dish! Even the kids loved it. It was so good, we made it again the next day. I bought fresh Salmon and cooked it rare.
This recipe was easy and delicious. I only made the soy honey sauce and passed it separately in a gravy boat. I served as an accompaniment a watercress salad drizzled with sesame oil and low sodium soy sauce. I will definitely make the recipe again as the slightly sweet sauce took away the fishy taste of the salmon. This is an ideal recipe for busy people as you can get it on the table in minutes - and it's healthy!

Sticky Date and Ginger Pudding
After having a sticky date pudding (with ginger) in Uralla earlier this year (at The Top Pub – go visit it, it's fantastic) I was determined to try one at home. I'm a firm believer that a pudding of this sort should be steamed rather than baked, as you get a much more pudding like texture from it that way.
However, steaming on the stove is a pain, so I decided to attempt to steam it in my slow cooker.
This recipe is based on one from Stephanie Alexander's The Cook's Companion.
It was a resounding success! Moist, succulent pudding with very little prep time and a set and forget cooking method.
The following are very approximate measures as I just threw it together off the cuff.
Place the dates, BiCarb and water in a bowl, stir, then let sit to soften the dates.
Cream the butter, sugar, then add the eggs one at a time, whisking well. Add the vanilla. Fold in the flour and when combined, pour in the date mixture and stir well.
Now prepare your slow cooker. Place two jar lids in the base, and approx 500-750ml of water. Make sure your pyrex loaf dish fits in the cooker with sufficient room between it and the lid to allow for pudding expansion.
Pour your mix in to the pyrex loaf dish, place in the slow cooker, cover and turn on to Auto (or High if your slow cooker doesn't have an Auto setting). Cook for 9 hours or so, dropping to Low in the last hour.
Just before serving, make your sauce. Melt the butter in a saucepan, add sugar and stir well until combined. Add the cream, string well (reduce heat if necessary to avoid separation), add the vanilla and rum and cook for a further 5 to 10 minutes. Sauce should be slightly thick, but still very pourable.
Cut slices of the pudding, pour sauce over the top and serve with Ice-Cream or Custard.

Here is an article from my hometown newspaper in Logansport, Indiana on a workshop held this past week.
It discusses a quick test demonstrated by nutritionist Bill Doig using a solution of sulfuric acid dripped onto longitudinal cross-section of a corn stalk. If the stalk turns midnight blue where dripped, the stalks from the field could kill cattle that eat too much of it. Read more in an article written by Sarah Einselen, a staff reporter for the Pharos-Tribune at this link...
* I strongly recommend talking to your local extension office about the exact solution, process steps and safety needs if you have never used this method before. There are already reports on the site of cattle dying from nitrate poisoning.
** Also, remember a detailed test from a local lab is always the best way to check on nitrate levels and the cost is money well spent compared to losing just one cow.
Thanks guys and please continue to share links ans workshops on assistance available in your areas.

Fortunately, very little corn has tested high for nitrates here in S. IN. In fact, a lot of samples have had very low nitrates. Simple reason, you have to have enough moisture to make the plant take up nitrogen. No rain is better than a little rain as far as high nitrates are concerned. Next fear here, what little shelled corn that is in S. IN will be too high in aflatoxin to feed to livestock.

Thought that was a strictly "way TOOO much" moisture thing. Or I'm I thinking of a different toxin we had a few years ago?

According to this Iowa State report on Aflatoxin, Haybaler is spot on....it states that "prime conditions for the fungus to produce toxins are warm August nights during a period of drought"....well here we are nearly in August.....this stuff is really bad news and causes cancer in humans and animals alike among other health related issues. Finding unacceptable levels of aflatoxins in what little corn crop some folks will be able to salvage would be the final blow to this years crop....rendering it unfit for most practical purposes.

Hat Films was created, originally under the name "Haat Films", by Ross Hornby and Chris Trott with some schoolmates when the two were in university together. Ross and Trott filmed a couple of live action shorts for both their university course and in their spare time. The live action skits include the more well known video "Dr. Jesus Trott - The Revenge Trailer". Later, Alex Smith joined the creative team and the three began recording the 'Let's Play' videos after they became addicted to Minecraft, dropping the second "a" in their name and becoming "Hat Films". The first ever series created by the trio was Forsaken Lands. Hatventures became even more popular with the creation of their second Minecraft 'Let's Play' series of Skylands. This new series introduced the death count system and later the inclusion of three different perspectives. During this period, Hatventures caught the eye of Minecraft publisher Mojang and soon the trio found themselves making trailers for the very company whose product helped them rise in popularity to begin with.
Ross Hornby, Chris Trott and Alex Smith make up the terrible trio of Hat Films, who produce high quality entertainment and low quality descriptions of themselves. They arrived at YogTowers in 2014 dressed in rags, but drinking champagne and munching on caviar. It was a strange day indeed.
Relation to the YogscastEdit
Hat Films are more recently known for competing in a Race for the Wool challenge on the main channel, with Simon on their team, opposite Lewis, Sips, Sjin and Duncan. Surprisingly, despite Simon's usual lack of skill in Minecraft, he managed to do better than members of Hat Films when it came to certain tasks.
Hat Films also took part in Crown Conquest. They had a slight advantage in having three teammates instead of the regular two. Throughout the game, they managed to bag three kills, all in the final round: Alsmiffy killed Bebopvox, and DJH3MAX delivered the killing blow to Xephos and InTheLittleWood. Overall, they tied for 9th with Nilesy and Hybrid Panda. They live in the same area as Yogtowers, and so have made many cameos in Yogscast videos, and vice versa. Most recently, they appeared in the 'Strippin Says' random sing-along episode, where they sang about corgis and monkeys on their various, hilarious 'misadventures'. They became part of the Yogscast on the 23rd of August 2013, and plan to do more IRL collaborations rather than redesign their channel. Hat Films also teamed up with Rythian and Sips in the "Minecraft Mini-Game Calamity" series. Hat Films are also currently doing a Minecraft Skyblock series with Sips following his solo Hardcore Skyblock series. Hat Films presented the 'Yogscast Top 5 - October 3rd' with their Beatboxing as number 1 video.
More recently in 2014, Hat Films announced via a Vlog that they were no longer going to be living in the same house. However this announcement would not affect their content production in any way shape or form, besides allowing more collaborations with other Yogscast members to occur. Due to all three of them moving out and no longer living in the same house, they decided that a shared workspace was still necessary and convenient, which was when they announced that they would now be working in YogTowers. Because there was little space left within YogTowers, Hat Films had to occupy the only remaining space within YogTowers; The Common Room, which was a shared space where the Yogs, editors and anyone else could go to relax, play board games and eat Jaffa Cakes.
- Often at the start of new videos they greet their viewers by saying: "Good Day!"
- Chris (Trottimus) has a black belt in karate.
- Two of the three members have urinated in their pants before in their school years. Alex in primary school and Chris at karate lessons.
- Chris is left handed.
- Their fans are called 'Hatters'
- They were actually called Haat Films at first. It originally stood for Hornby, Ashman, Adams and Trott. When Ashman later left and Smiffy joined in to start Forsaken Lands, they left the second "a" to become simply Hat Films. They joked in Hat Chat about Alex being the "and".

Thanks ! Merci l'ami !
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I'm amazed again...
To tell the truth... I never liked punk since i found your stuff here on Newgrounds..
But you have some metal influences in this track right?
What ever, it was an instand favorite entry.
Hey ! Well lets say that I do Punk/Metal stuff, I use to listen a lot of metal like In Flames but I listen punk rock music since I'm 10 so its kinda hard to let go my influences, so I enjoye mixe them together. Strung Out is probably the most popular punk metalish band I know and love. But I dont try to copy them, most of the time I just start compose, and the riff comes out like magic.
Thanks man !

As far as being Ben's BFF goes, yes that's absolutely true and there's nothing wrong with that. The reason why Ben has had such a crummy year is because he went from working with a guy who was open-minded, a guy who understood his players and who (from all accounts) had a great personality and was fun to work with, to a morose, "X's and O's" screamer who is trying to do things HIS way even if it costs the team years of ineffective mediocrity.
Ben thrived under Arians and I'll be the first to admit that BA wasn't always right and that some of the things he came up with seemed more experimental than planned, but that was his genius - the ability to think outside the box and a willingness to try different things without fear and that is something that Haley seems incapable of doing.
Yeah I know, BA didn't coah "Steeler Football" (whatever that is) and he was more like Father Flannagan than Sergeant Hartmann and so what? He got results and his record proves that. He got things out of players by understanding what they were godd at doing rather than trying to shove some "philosophy" down their throats or by drawing "My way or the highway" lines in the sand. He wasn't always successful, but his body of work and the good will that follows him around speaks for itself.
But you guys seem to think that there's something wrong with a coach talking to players rather than screaming at them or that a coach should be giving orders instead of taking suggestions and working with players and that, in my opinion, is ridiculous. This team (offensively) is in disarray not because of injuries or poor execution but because of Haley. He has destroyed the chemistry that existed before and he seems to alienate people on a minute-by-minute basis and that simply isn't going to work.
Chemistry is everything and Haley has none. Ben didn't have a bad year because he's lost his chops or because of injury. He had a bad year because he went from a nurturing environment to a toxic environment and that's not going to change as long as Haley is here. Arians, on the other hand, has gone from a successful run here to yet another successful run in Indy and his star is rising while we're stuck with a black hole.
Arians was and is a good coach and if you can't see that, then you're just not looking (or don't want to). Arians is being praised by many and is in demand while Haley just bounces from team to team leaving disappointment and acrimony in his wake. Ben is lost right now because he doesn't just miss a good coach but he misses a good friend and good friends are hard to find.
do you charge by the hour or a flat daily rate?
My comments were more of a way of not taking the conversation seriously. I find it equally hilarious that someone rushes to be the advocate and defender of someone they don't even know.
I choose to scrutinize professional athletes and coaches that come across as big egos - both Ben and Arians have a noted reputation - maybe if they didn't feed into some things people don't like in a personality or reputation - there would be less open comments - how I view them is pretty common - and it just isn't them - it's a ton of professional athletes in all sports - their public lives are kind of one big joke for the average joe - and really, you shouldn't take it so personal and lighten up a bit

Oregon Legislature Increases 2014-15 School Funding
Earlier this week, the Oregon Legislature voted to approve an increase of $100 million for Oregon schools, as well as measures that will reduce ongoing employee retirement costs for schools and other public services.
The added funds amount to just over a one percent increase in school funding statewide. This boosts state school funding from $6.55 billion to $6.65 billion this biennium (2013-15), setting an important baseline as the State plans school funding for 2015-17.
Legislative leaders decided to focus the state funding increase in the 2014-15 fiscal year only, and urge school districts to spend the money on added teachers, school days and lower class sizes. For Oregon City School District, this will likely mean the ability to restore a full school calendar in 2014-15, or at least get very close.
We are grateful for this extraordinary support of public education. While this week's vote does not solve Oregon's school funding problems, or help districts add back all the programs and staff that have been cut as state support has declined over years, it is another important step in the right direction toward stable and adequate K-12 funding in Oregon.

The Hugo Arcier Skull iPhone Case is created using sophisticated 3D printers that mould the creation out of premium polyurethane. While creating such a product might seem simple, this smartphone case requires a complex algorithym for a machine to be able to accurately get all the tiny details just right.
The cases are created under Arcier's Degeneration series and come in either low or high quality; the former is much less detailed but more geometrical while the latter is an exact anatomical copy of the human face. Each intricately crafted case is available in a wide array of colors that catch light from various angles to increase the eerie vibe that the creation is meant to exude. The opulent designs are available for purchase for $53 each.

EarthAbbey's community growing project Grow Zones is looking for people interested in starting a group in their own area. If you'd like to know more ... click here.
What a fantastic harvest we are experiencing here in the UK. My allotment has been heaving with produce this year as the combination of warm weather with intermittent rainfall has kept the soil healthy and the plants growing right through the season. Yet 2014 may go down in the record books in another sense. At this point it looks like it may be the hottest year ever in terms of global surface temperature.
Have you come across John Clare? If you like eco poetry, you will like this. He was a man born in a country village, who experienced the enclosures and wrote about it in the most remarkable, unpretentious and heartfelt poetry.
